What is Mindful Meditation? One pointedness
Being in the here-and-now “In this training of the mind, we learn to let go of the thoughts and feelings that pull us out of the present moment, and to steady our awareness on our immediate experience.” Tara Bennett Goleman A psychological need
The gift of the present
Mental hygiene

Lama Oser Left-to-right ratio in prefrontal cortex
Recognizing emotions in others
Control over the startle response
Social contagion “I couldn’t be confrontational. I was always met with reason and smiles; it’s overwhelming. I felt something—like a shadow or an aura—and I couldn’t be aggressive.”

Growing Tip Statistic “The process itself has some extraordinary qualities, but not necessarily the subject. The important idea is that this process is within the reach of anyone who applies himself or herself with enough determination.”
Lama Oser
“From the perspective of neuroscience, the point of all this research has nothing to do with demonstrating that Oser or any other extraordinary person may be remarkable in him-or herself, but rather to stretch the field’s assumptions about human possibility. Some of these key assumptions have already begun to expand, in part due to a revolution in neuroscience’s supposition about the malleability of the brain itself.”
Daniel Goleman

Being Mindful: Let Me Count the Ways Breathing “If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly.”
Andrew Weil

Mantra
Music and dance “It happens that music and rhythm and dancing are excellent ways of moving toward the discovering of identity. We are built in such a fashion that this kind of trigger, this kind of stimulation, tends to do all kinds of things to our autonomic nervous systems, endocrine glands, to our feelings, and to our emotions. It just does.”
Abraham Maslow

“The riches banquet, the most exotic travel, the most interesting, attractive lover, the finest home—all of these experiences can seem somehow unrewarding and empty if we don’t really attend to them fully—if our minds are elsewhere, preoccupied with disturbing thoughts. By the same token, the simplest of life’s pleasures—eating a piece of fresh-baked bread, seeing a work of art, spending moments with a loved one—can be amply rich if we bring a full attention to them. The remedy to dissatisfaction is inside us, in our minds, not in groping for new and different outer sources of satisfaction.” Tara Bennett Goleman
